Possibly the oldest surviving picture in Trier Cathedral is the tympanum in the south wall at the portal to the Church of Our Lady. It is a sandstone relief from around 1180, showing Christ enthroned in the middle, Mary, the patroness of the Liebfrauenkirche, on the left, and Peter, the patron saint of the cathedral, on the right. The figures stand out three-dimensionally, while the frame ornament is kept flat. In the course of the restoration, which was completed in 1974, the original colors of the sculpture were uncovered, which had been whitewashed over several times over the past few years and covered with a thick layer. Subtleties of the representation such as hair and the folds of the robes are clearly recognizable again.

Where the Saar and Moselle meet The Moselle and Saar originate in France and meet in Konz after a long journey through varied landscapes. The two rivers give our holiday region its name and have shaped a unique landscape. At the mouth of the Saar there is a triangular sculpture as a place of peace and meditation. You can sit in the stone, shielded from external influences. It is quieter in the stone and the sound of the water is amplified.

Here the Saar flows into the Moselle and forms a small German Corner. There is a pyramid-shaped stone here as a monument to Kaiser Wilhelm.

The Liebfrauenkirche in Trier is located right next to the Trier Cathedral in the center of the city. Together with the Elisabeth Church in Marburg, it is the oldest Gothic church in Germany and the most important and earliest Gothic central building in the country.

The High Cathedral Church of St. Peter in Trier is the oldest episcopal church in Germany and the mother church of the Diocese of Trier. With a length of 112.5 meters and a width of 41 meters, the structure is the largest church building in the city of Trier and an important example of Western sacred architecture.

The main market of Trier is the central and one of the largest squares in the city. It is located in the historic city center directly in front of the cathedral city in today's Mitte/Gartenfeld district. The most important urban commercial streets come together here. In 958, Archbishop Henry I equipped the main market with the market cross as a symbol of sovereignty. The main market was a place for selling goods and trading in the medieval city.

In 958 Trier received market rights. The main market became the center of medieval Trier with the Steipe, the festival hall of the city council with direct access to the city church of St. Gangolf (to be reached through the small baroque gate on the south side - the church itself is completely surrounded by houses and stalls), the official city hall Ellen Maß (reconstruction) on the Steipe, pillory (reconstructed offset in the southern corner of the market), access to the cathedral, access to the Jewish quarter and access to a total of six streets.
